I’ve met a ton of blind people in my life. (But
actually, when I stop and do the math, I realize that statement is quite
untrue. Let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that every blind person I’ve
met weighed, on average, 150 pounds. It would only take 13.3333333333333333333333333
blind people of that standard stature to compose one ton of blind people. I’ve
met a helluva lot more than 13.3333333333333333333333333 blind people. So let
me start this again.)

I’ve met several tons of blind people in my life. I
believe I can safely state without fear of contradiction that there’s one thing
they have in common with the sighted majority: when they go to restaurants
and other public establishments, they don’t like there to be piles of horse shit
scattered about.

But then again, I could be wrong. Congressman Jason
Chaffetz (R-Utah) seems to know something about blind people that nobody else
knows. Perhaps he’s conducted some independent research.

Over the past decade or so, some blind people have started using trained miniature horses rather than dogs to lead them around. These horses
are usually about the same size as guide dogs. One of their advantages is that
these horses live up to three times as long as dogs.

So last spring, the U.S.
Department of Justice issued rules under the Americans with Disabilities Act
stating that those with guide horses cannot be denied entry into restaurants
and other public establishments. Chaffetz was outraged and slapped onto the DoJ
appropriation bill an amendment “to prohibit the use of funds to implement a section
of the Americans with Disabilities Act which allows miniature horses to be used
as service animals.” Chaffetz wrote that DoJ stuck small businesses with this
job-killing regulation “despite the difficulty (some would say impossibility)
of housebreaking a horse…”

Chaffetz
is protecting us all from those blind people who are so selfish and full of disregard for
others, so warped by bitterness and their wanton sense of entitlement that
wherever they go they brazenly leave behind a trail of road apples. Now logic
would conclude that if horses couldn’t be housebroken, blind people wouldn’t
use them. Because logic would also conclude that however deep Chaffetz’s
aversion to encountering piles of horse shit may be, blind people feel that same
aversion 10 times deeper. At least Chaffetz can see an upcoming pile, which
gives him the option of sidestepping. Blind people may not discover such landmines
until it’s too late.

But, like
I said, maybe Chaffetz is privy to shocking new information that redefines
America’s image of blind people. Maybe he chaired a Congressional hearing on
horse shit, where he heard heart-wrenching horror stories from victims of
unhousebroken guide horses

So I asked Chaffetz’s press person to please send
me any evidence on which he based his claim. All I received was something from foxnews.com
quoting one Angelo Amador as saying, "You cannot train a horse ...
housebreak them like you would do with a dog." Amador is vice president of the National
Restaurant Association.

Now I know what my wise old grandmother meant when she
told me, “Always remember that there are two kinds of horse shit. There’s the
kind God creates, which comes out of horses. And there’s the kind humans
create, which comes out of some politicians.”
